The Ryuo’s Work Is Never Done! Vol. 9 (Light Novel)

Yaichi Kuzuryu is a 16-year-old prodigy shogi player and the youngest person ever to attain the title of Ryuo (Dragon King), which is only awarded to the strongest players in the world of competitive shogi. One day, a young girl named Ai Hinatsuru suddenly shows up at his doorstep expecting to become his apprentice. Turns out, he made a deal with her at the Grand Championship game that if he won he’d become her coach, but since then he totally forgot! He reluctantly agrees to hold up his end of the deal, but his reluctance soon turns to excitement after he realizes her hidden talent for the game.
In Vol. 9, Ai Yashajin is a title challenger at a mere 10 years old and swears to her late parents to reach the title of Queen. However, she is confronted by the strongest female shogi player in history and her master’s sister apprentice, Ginkgo Sora. With the title on the line, “Naniwa’s Snow White” and “Kobe’s Cinderella” are about to clash!
